2016 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT3.0L DIESEL

The vehicle holds a current MOT certificate following a pass on 4 August 2025 at 60,163 miles. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, though a recurring front tyre wear pattern warrants attention. The most recent test flagged an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit on its edge, mirroring an advisory from the failed test on 26 July 2024 at 46,923 miles. That failure also recorded a deep cut to the offside front inner tyre exposing the ply or cords. Both defects were rectified ahead of the clean pass on 6 August 2024 at 46,950 miles, and the subsequent tests in August 2023 and August 2025 recorded no further tyre defects. No other mechanical or structural faults have appeared across the five-year record. The mileage accumulation is consistent with light-to-moderate use for a 2016 vehicle. Annualised at roughly 6,000 miles per year, the odometer moved from 29,741 miles in August 2022 to 40,046 miles in August 2023, a jump of approximately 10,300 miles in twelve months. This then slowed markedly to roughly 6,900 miles between August 2023 and August 2024, before the vehicle covered just 13 miles between the August 2024 test and the August 2025 test. The sharp drop in the final twelve-month period suggests the vehicle has been standing for extended phases or used only very locally. Prolonged static periods can lead to flat-spotted tyres, brake disc surface corrosion, and dried-out rubber bushes, all of which a buyer should verify on inspection. The recurring offside front tyre wear and cut point toward a localised mechanical issue rather than simple neglect. Edge wear on a single front tyre typically indicates misalignment of the tracking or camber, worn suspension bushes, or a binding brake caliper on that corner. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on the front suspension geometry, condition of the lower arm bushes and track rod ends, and the operation of the offside front brake caliper slide pins and piston. The nearside rear child seat advisory from August 2022 is a minor note, but the seat belt and mounting point should still retract and lock correctly under load. Given the low recent mileage, a thorough underbody inspection for corrosion, particularly on subframes, brake lines, and exhaust mounting points, remains prudent.
